Is there an Xtree for Win95? I use the dos Xtg2 on this machine in

preference to FileMisManager. I picked up the first version of

XtreeWin, but it was a bit wooden - every click opened a new

window, and pretty soon there were dozens of the little sods.

I'd actually put it on hold, intending to either finish it or axe

it later. Somehow I managed to unhold it...
